Recap / The Mask S 2 E 30 Counterfeit Mask

Go To

Stanley is accused of counterfeiting money after picking up the luggage of a mysterious woman named Selina Swint at the airport. Meanwhile, Peggy gets her hands on The Mask and fulfills her dream of being glamorous - which also includes roping Lieutenant Kellaway into marriage

Tropes:

  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Masked Peggy Brandt is an egotistical, vapid and vain woman who thinks she is the story but despite all this she does care about Stanley and is refined, staid and polite as well along with having a British accent. Masked Peggy also gives Stanley what he needs to take her face off so that his alter ego can save their dog after noticing a crooked eyebrow on her.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Masked Peggy like The Mask and Eve is wacky and spends her time getting her back straight which she threatened the lady worker with a mallet when she did not get all the kinks out, then grows toenails back after another one cuts it too short, demands for hair to be extra fluffy by telling another lady worker to turn the machine hotter, drags the hairdresser by hooking it to her car just in case of a emergency and tries to marry Kellaway even though she knows he is obsessed with The Mask, then takes Stanley with her after Kellaway rejects her deciding that he is the only one to understand her and takes her car to the top of the building so that they can be both alone.
  • I Always Wanted to Say That: When Selina tries to lower Milo into the money counterfeiting press, a panicked Mask transforms into a reporter and yells, "Stop the presses! Stop the presses!" before looking to the audience and admitting this.
  • It's All About Me: Masked Peggy is egotistical as she likes to makes sure that her appearance is right and though Stanley’s dog is in danger she thinks that pales compared to her need to having a makeover and when asked by Stanley that he thought she wanted to help him so that she can report a story which she tells him she doesn’t need the story because she thinks she is the story but despite her egotistical nature Masked Peggy does genuinely care about Stanley and is also harmless as she only causes chaos that is goofy and does not hurt or kill anyone at all which shows that Masked Peggy is like The Mask and the other benevolent mask personas a good hearted person despite her quirks.
  • Sexier Alter Ego: Masked Peggy was still in her unmasked self’s clothes but changes them to blue clothes, blue heels and a hat which does make her very attractive.
